So, what are you're thoughts on this game? I own it, and I absolutely love it. It's got a fun battle system, with every character you'd ever want in there (Besides Dante and Viewtiful Joe....which I think was a mistake not to add them, but meh.). My quip with the characters though is that it seems that the Namco side of the characters hogs a lot of the story, even from character like Strider and Megaman. And then some characters are just...there, to be there. Like the Final Fight people, Shion, MOMO, and KOS-MOS. I do however like the representation they did for older games, especially Tales of Destiny (They made the whole end game of ToD take place in the final chapters of the game).
Btw, for a list of characters, and their orginal game, in the order that you get them in (I'm gonna group them as they are grouped ingame. You'll see what I mean)
Reiji Arisu&Xiamou (Namco X Capcom)
Shion Uzuki&MOMO (Xenosaga, Namco)
KOS-MOS (Xenosaga, Namco)
Chun-Li&Cammy White (Street Fighter, Capcom. Note, Cammy joins later in the game)
Stahn Aileron&Rutee Katrea (Tales of Destiny, Namco)
Klonoa&Guntz (Klonoa, Namco)
Kurino Sandra&Sabine (Legend of Valkyrie, Namco)
Gilgamesh&Ki (Tower of Druaga, Namco)
Felicia&King II (Darkstalkers, Capcom, Tekken, Namco)
Sakura Kasugano&Karin Kanzuki (Street Fighter, Capcom)
Bravoman&Wonder Momo (Bravoman, Namco, Wonder MOMO, Namco)
Kyoko Minazuki&Hideo Shimazu (Rival Schools, Capcom)
Guy&Sho (Final Fight, Capcom, Captain Commando, Capcom)
Ryu (Street Fighter)
Bruce McGivern&Regina (Resident Evil: Dead Aim, Capcom, Dino Crisis, Capcom)
Fong Ling&Hsien-Ko (Resident Evil: Dead Aim, Capcom, Darkstalkers, Capcom)
Ken Masters (Street Fighter, Capcom)
Jin (Tekken, Namco)
Mitsurugi Heishiro (Soul Calibur 2, Namco)
Taki&Wayahime (Sould Calibur 2, Namco, Bravoman, Namco. Note, Wayahime doesn't join till later)
Tron Bonne&Servbot (Megaman Legends, Capcom)
Hiromi Tengenji&Toby Masuyo (Burning Force, Namco, Baraduke, Namco)
Taira No Kagekiyo&Tarosuke (Genpei ToumaDen, Namco, Shadow Lands, Namco)
And since I lost the order after that, here's the rest of the characters you get, in Alphabetical Order.
Armor King (Tekken, Namco)
Arthur (Ghosts & Goblins, Capcom)
Captain Commando (Captain Commando, Capcom)
Demetri Maximoff (Darkstalkers, Capcom)
Heihachi Mishima (Tekken, Namco)
Baby Head&Mack the Knife (Captain Commando, Capcom)
Judas (a.k.a Leon Magnus) (Tales of Destiny 2, Namco.Note, this is NOT from the american ToD2. That one starred Reid and such. ToD2 in Japan was an actual Tales of Destiny sequel.)
Morrigan Aensland&Lilith Aensland (Darkstalkers, Capcom)
Mike Haggar (Final Fight, Capcom)
Megaman&Roll Caskett (Megaman Legends, Capcom)
Rose (Street Fighter, Capcom)
Strider Hiryu (Strider, Capcom)
Sylphie (Forgotten Worlds, Capcom)
Taizo Hori (Dig Dug II, Namco)
Unknown Solider 1P&2P (Forgotten Worlds, Capcom)
Valkyrie (Legend of Valkyrie, Namco)
Those are all the playable characters, and most major villians from each game are in it too, and they each intermingle with most of the other games storylines. (e.g:M. Bison tries to find a way to harness both the Third Energy from Dino Crisis, and the Eye of Atamoni from Tales of Destiny). The villains do what they would have done in their own respective game.
So, what are your thoughts on the game and do you think it should be localized?
